About Rio Bonito
Rio Bonito: Gateway to the Lowland Atlantic Forest
Rio Bonito sits 70 km northeast of the city of Rio de Janeiro, in the Lagos Region of Rio de Janeiro state. The municipality covers a mix of cattle farmland and remnant Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica), making it a quiet base for travelers exploring the interior of the state rather than the coast. The town centre clusters around Praça Getúlio Vargas, where local commerce and weekend fairs draw visitors from surrounding districts.
Where to Stay and Getting Around
Hotels in Rio Bonito are small-scale, typically guesthouses and roadside pousadas catering to business travelers and families passing through on the BR-101 corridor. The city is well connected by road: Niterói lies roughly 60 km to the southwest and the Região dos Lagos (Arraial do Cabo, Búzios) is accessible within 90 minutes by car.
Practical Tips
- Getting here: Regular buses link Rio Bonito to Niterói's Terminal Rodoviário João Goulart and to Cabo Frio.
- Climate: Summers (December–March) bring heavy rain; pack a waterproof layer.
- Local market: The Saturday fair on Praça Getúlio Vargas sells regional produce including fresh cheese and honey.
